Researchers' Association of the Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies, or MACS Researchers' Association for short, promotes the well-being and careers of young researchers by organizing fun and informative events and activities. Research staff of all levels and disciplines in our renewed department are welcome to join the ranks of the renewed association.

The exact rate and content of our activities depends on the needs and interests of the membership - and the board is happy to listen to all ideas!
